Please for the love of God, add the option to analyze imported games and get accuracy percentages and stuff like that...You can do the mentioned with games played on the platform, but there is no option to do so with imported ones. I waited for this update for so long, I really do not see why they do not add it, it is like they absolutely forgot about it...Please consider adding it in the future updates 🙏🙏, everything else is awesome!

The UI looks more slick that what I assume to be the legacy app, but I can't find the option of importing a PGN anymore. It seems like the app only offers some subset of the original functionality. Personally I care more about features and usability than the UI (otherwise I'd just stick to their commercial competitor). I understand it's still a Beta.

Especially during tournaments, I sometime get disconnected see the timer of the opponent go to zero and then see that I lost 4 minutes ago, for example, because of connectivity issue. Also for some reason there is not anymore the possibility to play against a computer in the app, you can trigger the match via web browser and the continue in the app but you cannot start it from the app.
